The headlight wiper is conected to the pivoting axle by a rifling, the nut at the end only tightens the two parts to eachother. Owertightening may cause crackes as mentioned but the need of tightening might werywell be a sign of a damaged rifling. Do you mean USD, wich would be totally out of range. ( This is a scandinavian opinion ). Sounds like a bunch of real specialist in ripping people of their money. Is your clutch slipping or numb. Christopher A.
